Handling device with defined idle configuration

A handling device comprising:

• a support which extends along a vertical support axis;
• a first projection element which is arranged at one end of the support in a rotationally fixed and non-displaceable manner and extends in a first projection plane transversely to the support in a first projection direction;
• a second projection element which is connected to the first projection element via a first joint in such a way that the second projection element is pivotable in a second projection plane;
• a third projection element which is connected to the second projection element via a second joint in such a way that the third projection element is pivotable in a third projection plane;
• and
• an attachment portion for coupling a lifting and/or gripping device is provided on the third projection element, wherein,
• along the support axis, the first projection plane overlies the second projection plane and the second projection plane overlies the third projection plane,
• the second projection element can be pivoted under the first projection element and the third projection element can be pivoted under the second projection element and the first projection element,
• the support is designed as a column which extends along the support axis and is height-adjustable and, telescopic,
• a locking apparatus is provided on the support and/or on the first projection element,
• the third projection element has a locking portion,
• the locking apparatus and the locking portion are designed to be coordinated with one another in such a way that the locking portion can be fixed in the locking apparatus, as a result of which a defined idle configuration for the second projection element and the third projection element is defined, and
• the locking portion can only be inserted laterally into the locking apparatus by a rotational movement about an axis of rotation parallel to the support axis.
